 Their Best Yet! Jul 19, 2010
Coldplay seem to just keep getting better. This is a different approach, especially the title track with strings (which I love) but that's just the tip of the iceberg. This is a really good album and I'm happy to hear how they've continued breaking new ground as a band. Great lyrics, playing and as always well engineered with very big sound to it. Jonny Buckland has some catchy riffs on this and his hooks direct the songs in subtle but strong ways. It would be interesting to hear him really take center stage but what he does is cool. Overall I'd have to say this is my favorite album of theirs yet and a consistent pleasure to listen to!

 Coldplay is catching a really bad cold the equivalent of the black plague, except it travels from money to music Jul 06, 2010
"Coldplay is catching a really bad cold the equivalent of the black plague, except it travels from money to music."
The only aspect regarding highly rated reviews I don't concur with is, "What's for sure, however, is that this is their most interesting outing to date."
This album is better than "X&Y" for a fact, but it's certainly not as creative and interesting to listen as "A Rush of the Blood to the Head!" In my own opinion, Coldplay hasn't been producing "great" music; not to say that they don't have talent, which they obviously do. What I'm saying is, their music is gradually getting infected by all the pestilences running through music now a day. The radio, album sells, and commercials, etc... Kill music.... I want the way Coldplay use to be; "God put a smile upon your face," songs like that!
The only bands that are known to have managed to avoid catching the disease are Radiohead, White Stripes, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Add to the list if anyone wants...
Evidence: Radiohead never plays "Creep" live because they don't like playing "commercialized s*** (quote from the lead singer Thom Yorke)." They didn't release any singles from their best album "Kid A" because they hate singles (they believe in albums).
"It would be nice if artists started to produce albums every year, maybe two albums a year," Jack White in an interview regarding album making. "Something solid, something you can hold like an album... even a CD is great. We want people to have a tangible experience."
Now, I'm not advertizing bands; I have better things to do than advertize bands... If people think that's have I'm doing; they're missing the whole point. Music isn't that way I use to be, because many of our artists don't have morals and believe that tin can throwing from the second story is beautiful music.
Not to end on a bad note, but Coldplay has some hope... "Violet Hill" was a great song with distorted guitar work.

 The Slow Melody of Coldplay Jun 14, 2010
I bought Viva La Vida on the recommendation of a friend and Coldplay has had a fair share of success and I understand why because their music can be very soothing and relieving, but for me personally the Coldplay sound is just too light for my tastes. However, I did enjoy the track Strawberry Swing because it sounded a bit heavier than the other tracks on the album and has a really cool tune attached to it. For the Coldplay fan that enjoys their sound or someone who's not interested in a cornucopia of heavy metal guitars and hyped up drums than this album is definitely for you.

Takes time to grow on you May 29, 2010
I had lost touch with Coldplay's recent works but when they decided to visit the city I decided to give it a shot. Their live performance was really good, but this review is not about that. How that is relevant is because they gave a live version of their album to all attendees and I started listening to songs from this album. I did not really like them when I listened to them a about two times. But slowly the songs started growing on me and I listened to the whole album over and over again for a long time during my office commute. I bought the MP3 album from here and have really enjoyed each song on the album since. Recommended!

Very unique theme. Apr 11, 2010
I loved the entire album no weak moments and they know how to paint a picture with lyrics and music.
